Q: null Can Thixo Flex be used as a temporary repair on delaminated tabbing? I know that the right/best approach is to grind it all away and retab. In my case the tabbing has come away from the hull (still bonded to the bulkheads/cabinetry), and I'm wondering if squeezing a bunch of Thixo into the gap might strengthen things up for a while.

A: John It couldn't hurt to try. I used this product to repair spider cracks in the hull of my Searay before I sealed and painted it. I hit the cracks with a rotary file then injected the Thixo Flex and worked in with a bondo spreader. I've had no problems. David

Q: null What gel coat needs to used with this product?
4 years ago3 Answers
A: This product is more of a bonding/gap filling application and that's all I have ever used it for. I am not sure in what application you're using the thixo but it's not something that you'd be typically laying up glass with. So if you're gel coating over a repair area that has thixo, as long as you sand and prep the exposed thixo I would imagine the gelcoat would bond. Also if applicable, you could use a polyester/epoxy based fairing compound over the thixo to ensure better gel coat adhesion.

Q: null I recently purchased a +/– 30 year old 19'6"" wooden sloop, strip planked pine over oak frames. She's been out of the water for several years, stored indoors. When we launched her we left her flooded (with flotation, so neutrally buoyant) to take up. The planking seems to have swelled up fine, but there is a persistent and significant leak along the seam between the port garboard and the keel. I'm planning to haul her again, clean out that seam, and fill it with Thixo Flex. Would you recommend that product for this application?
4 years ago1 Answer
A: Sealing a leak between the keel and port garboard is a job for Dow 4200 or 5200 Marine sealant or a Poly-sulfide Marine caulking compound, either of which will remain much more flexible than Thixo Flex Epoxy. FYI some old maritime trivia, back in the day of caulking with oakum (cotton fiber) and tar the first seam along the keel and first plank was very difficult and was nick named ""the devil"" hence the saying ""Between the devil and the deep blue sea"".
